Well damn thanks for letting me know. I guess my only option is turbo charging it so I can fill the flares with intercoolers. Sigh....

Thanks again for the heads up

The roof is done! don't worry about those fender bolts those are being replaced. The car goes into the wrap shop Monday and if everything goes right it'll be back on the track at VIR next week. I have a LONG way to go with the other side of the car.

Looks similar to this top. I think they were made in England. It's the only one I've ever seen in person. Makes you wonder why Porsche didn't design the hardtop with a smoother flow.

I think they wanted to follow the soft top lines and maybe distinguish it from the 911. I agree that those lines are much smoother though


In other news I got it back from the wrap shop, I have the narrow front tires on all four corners on these shots (rain setup) so the wheels don't fill out the flares. The slicks are mounted on 4 rear wheels so they fill out the falres
